Method

Put 1 tbsp of the oil in a small pan over a low heat. Add the shallots and a pinch of salt. Cook gently for 5 mins, stirring, until the shallots have softened (but not coloured). Remove from the heat.
Stir in the garlic, mustard, sugar and vinegar. Using a whisk, gradually beat in the remaining oil in a steady stream, until thickened. Stir in the herbs and 2 tbsp just-boiled water; season to taste.
Combine the lentils and avocado in a bowl. Pour over half the dressing (reserve the rest for another day) and toss to coat. Arrange on a serving plate with the chicory.
